Laoshan is the birthplace of Taoism, since the Spring and Autumn Period, it has gathered a group of health and self-cultivation of the Fang Shi and the like, the history of Wu Wangfu almost tasted the Lingbao of Laoshan to get the spirit of the human scriptures, in the late Warring States period, Laoshan has become the "East China Sea Immortal Mountain", the first year of the former Han Dynasty Emperor Wu built the first year Zhang Lianfu came to Laoshan to build a thatched nunnery to worship the three officials and give apprentices to worship, laid the foundation of Laoshan Taoism, at this time Laoshan has not yet had the later Lingbao faction, Shangqing faction, Maoshan sect and other famous sects, but has the most prosperous Taiping Dao.

Taiping Dao actually originated from the Huang Lao Doctrine, the Huang Lao Doctrine is one of the 100 schools of pre-Qin, inclusive, in the Tao, the law at the same time, but also the Yin and Yang family, Confucianism, Mojia and famous thoughts, is a relatively complete set of governing the country's ideological system, highlighting the concept of criminal morality, advocating grace and power and consolidating the regime, in the early years of the Western Han Dynasty, is to govern the country with the study of Huang Lao, recuperate, the rule of the Wenjing, to Emperor Wu depose the hundred schools, respect Confucianism, Huang Lao's study has become the study of self-cultivation, it is still a positive thought.

But in the later Han Dynasty for decades, some monks mixed Huang Lao's learning with immortal immortality, ghost and god sacrifices, and other arts, and regarded the Yellow Emperor and Lao Tzu as immortals, forming a primitive Taoism.

The main preaching method of Taiping Dao is to teach people to kowtow and think, and to use the water mantra to cure the disease, which bewitches many people.

Taiping Dao develops very fast, there are countless believers, but the main altar is extremely hidden, there are more than a dozen Taoist Taiyi immortal caves and Taoist temples in the whole Laoshan Mountain, plus some mountain thieves and pirates are rampant, becoming the best cover for the Taiping Dao General Altar, dozens of mountains, ordinary people can't find it at all.

At this time, in a mountainside in the southeast of Laoshan Mountain, Shi A and Tai Shi Ci hid in the dense forest with their guards, looking at a small Taoist temple not far away.

Just behind this Taoist temple, there is a huge cave hidden, open in the belly of the mountain, outside the cave guards thirty-six yellow turban warriors, all wrapped in yellow scarves, dressed in yellow robes, burly and strong, is the Taiping Road specially selected to protect the soldiers, a total of 800 people, combat effectiveness is much stronger than the ordinary yellow turban soldiers.

The torches in the cave are bright, there are three huge statues, each several zhang high, respectively, the Yellow Emperor, Lao Tzu and Huang Tian Taiyi, the Yellow Emperor and Lao Tzu are all Taoist gods, and Huang Tian Taiyi is the Taiping Tao exclusive worship. In addition to the statues of gods, there are various dojo musical instruments such as pipes, shengs, altar drums, gongs, bells, cymbals, chimes, etc., and 36 futons.

This is the main altar of Taiping Dao, and the core members of Taiping Dao preach in various places on weekdays, but whenever there is a major event or worship to the gods, the core members of Taiping Dao will gather here.

At this time, there were more than 20 people in the cave, all of them were dressed in Taoist costumes, sitting on the futon, and the first person was a Taoist priest with crane hair and a childish face, with three locks of long hair fluttering, closed eyes, and no age could be seen.

He is the Taoist of the Taiping Dao, the disciple of Langya Yuji, this person is determined to prosper the Taiping Dao, about 50 years ago when the Emperor Shun, the palace Zheng had dedicated the "Taiping Qing Lingshu", wanted to take the Taiping Road as a national road, but was impeached by the Si Gong and did not pass. More than 20 years ago, he taught Zhang Jiao Taiping Tao and wanted to prosper in the Central Plains, but Zhang Jiao's movements exceeded his expectations.

On the left side of the palace is a young woman, a beige ecliptic outfit covers her slender figure, her age is about twenty-six or seventeen, and her appearance is extremely beautiful. She is the saint of Taiping Dao and the granddaughter of Gong Zheng.

On the right side of the palace is a fat Taoist priest, with a smiling look, but his eyes look at the age of the woman from time to time, he is Yu Ji's clansman Yu Ya, who has a very high status in the Taiping Dao, only under the palace.

The three of them have the highest status, and the remaining twenty or so Taoist priests also have men and women, but among them, there are those dressed as witches and those dressed as vulgar, all of them are different, but their expressions are the same solemn and angry.

"Dao Master." A Taoist priest said hatefully: "This Qingzhou Mu is really hateful, Qingzhou is so big, it is not easy to go anywhere, but I came to Donglai, but in a few days, we destroyed more than a dozen of our altars, and the disciples suffered heavy losses, the Taoist master should think of a way, we can't preach like this." ”

"Yes, Dao Master, think of a way." Several Taoist priests cried out.

Yu Ya, who was beside Gong Zhen, snorted: "If it weren't for the 300,000 disciples who took refuge in Cao Cao in Yanzhou, how would this Qingzhou pastor dare to be presumptuous in Donglai!" ”

Gong Zhen opened his eyes and said slowly: "At the beginning, millions of disciples were defeated by the imperial court, but now the situation is even more difficult, Cao Cao is extraordinary, and 300,000 disciples have taken refuge in him, so he may not be able to find a way to prosper for my Taiping Dao." ”

Yu Ya said: "Now that the persecution of Qingzhou is too great, it is bad for my altar, what should we do?" ”

Gong Zheng was silent for a moment: "I still work for you to mobilize the disciples, this Qingzhou Mu has lost his foundation in Donglai, it is not enough, he can't kill Donglai Lishu." ”

A Taoist priest at the bottom spoke: "In the past few days, we have launched a resistance of the disciples, but we have been captured a lot, this Qingzhou Mu is very vicious, and we have suffered heavy losses. ”

"I think that the villain of Huangfu Song killed 200,000 disciples at the beginning, and I can't help but take it as a warning." Yu Ya's eyes rolled and said, "It's better to send a wrestler to assassinate this thief, and trust it to God." ”

The Taoist priests below listened to Yu Ya's strategy, and immediately echoed it, they originally lived in Donglai, and were respected by the believers and the people, but now they were all destroyed by the Qingzhou pastor, so they gritted their teeth against the new Qingzhou pastor.

The saint beside Gong Zheng frowned and said: "This Qingzhou Mu has an extraordinary move, I'm afraid that he will also come to attack the main altar......

Yu Ya laughed: "The holy woman is too worried, my Dao General Altar has been hidden in this mountain for more than ten years, and no one has ever found out, not to mention that I am not here on weekdays, so what if the thief comes?" ”

As soon as he finished speaking, there was a scream outside, followed by a yellow turban wrestler guarding the door hurriedly came in and said loudly: "Dao Master, all Dharma protectors are leaving, there are thieves attacking, it is very fierce." ”

All the Taoist priests changed color, and in the blink of an eye, the screams outside became even more urgent, and even Gong Zheng's face changed at this moment.
